It’s actually exactly the other way around: countries don’t comply with other countries’ copyrights, but they must offer the same level of protection to authors of works created abroad as they give to authors of works created locally (I.e. non-discrimination of foreign works/authors). And they must also offer a minimum level of copyright protection as specified in the convention. The egregious content removal remedies offered by the DMCA in the US are luckily not part of those minimum protections, so most sane countries have a more balanced procedure for content removal remedies.

If you think that the US is (relatively) insane when it comes to this, you have never witnessed the German equivalent (which is much more complainant-friendly).
